Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The seven As include: Is the community aware of its needs and of the service? Is it accessible to community members? Is the service available when the community needs it? Can the commu-nity members afford the service? Does the community find the service acceptable? Is the service adequate to meet the needs of the community? And, are the services appropriate to meet the needs of the community? The following questions do not address the seven As: Can the com-munity members allocate resources to support the service? Will the community members allow strategies to be implemented to improve the service? And, will the community members approve of the services provided?

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The community is considered the client when the nursing focus is on the collective good of the population. Providing education is one way the nurse can care for the community as the client; however, the focus of nursing care is larger in scope than only education. Provision of care for aggregates and families does not address the larger scope of community as client.
